Thanks

Thanks. Just strange how it’s made as an f1.8 lens yet it’s barely usable at that aperture. Then again at 1:20 in this review video there are no comments on issues with sharpness at 1.8 and the middle does seem to be very sharp(?)

You say use 1.8 for when I really need it but if it’s never going to be sharp then when would I ever need to?
